Advantages of laser cutting hardboard

Woodworkers are increasingly using CO₂ laser machines for both cutting and engraving the material. Cutting or engraving hardboard is straightforward because it involves a non-contact machining process. This offers a number of significant advantages:

• There is no chip removal. This means that no waste is produced when machining hardboard using a BRM laser machine
• The pattern can be extremely intricate. A BRM laser can cut out extremely precise patterns
• The hardboard sheets do not need to be clamped or secured
• There are fewer breaks and cutting errors
• The cut edges are splinter-free, so no finishing is required

With these advantages, it is possible to use hardboard for many different applications. From insulating a room to laying a subfloor. Hardboard is mainly used for:

• Flooring
• Wall sealing
• Packaging
• Covering

Laser cutting of hardboard: the solution

Hardboard is a type of wood consisting of several layers of wood fibres pressed together. The material is smooth on both sides. This makes hardboard difficult to cut, and a BRM laser machine offers a solution. Furthermore, cutting hardboard can release a lot of dust and fibre residue. This is not the case when laser cutting hardboard.
With traditional sawing and engraving methods, the tools used also wear out over time. This is not the case when cutting or engraving using a laser machine. This ensures that the quality of the cut edges and engravings remains consistent.
